Thanks you for all the work you're doing to not only take these predators off the street, but shine a light on how these depraved men work. So many are teachers which is devastating. You're providing information on tactics used by these men which in turn could quite possibly save a life. In some instances we catch a glimpse of the sacrifices you make with your family and although it's hard it is my firm belief that when they are older and realize what you are doing they will not only understand, but view you for what you (all) really are, a HERO. The work you're doing is so important. Best wishes moving forward and my ultimate thanks from a fellow mother.
I like the show and love that it brings to light that these type of operations exist. It takes a certain type of person to see what they see and what have to deal with. The people with their bad reviews and criticisms of Roo obviously have no concept of age; sure it's a bit of a stretch to believe that she could pull off being a 15 year old, but with the right lighting (obviously not a black light like one idiot suggested), makeup and mannerisms...it can be done to fool these type of criminals. I would have put her in her late 20s, before she was all made up. The fact is that they actually help put away actual sexual predators and that's all that matters.
I am a sexual abuse prevention educator and author. And mom of three adult children ages 18, 23, and 26.
I know how real the online risks are for kids because I work with parents on preventing this type of thing.
This show is eye-opening! And should serve as a wake up call to how serious, present, and dangerous this online child sexual abuse, exploitation, and sex trafficking is.
Watch the show! Take notes! And make a plan to protect your family by reducing your risks and communicating with your tweens and teens. A great deal of sexual abuse and mistakes online can be prevented with communication and education.
Our poor kids! We have to help them.
This show helps explain the scope of the problem.
I am thankful that there is a show that shows parents how disturbing and sick some people are!
Thank you to the SOSA together foundation and to everyone who made this show a reality. This is an incredible teaching tool.
Catching predators and putting them away for a long time is a great goal! But so is empowering families to prevent and protect kids.

This is an interesting show, I can't say it's enjoyable. Because it's really sickening, like really really sickening. But, it's also a show that I think is worth a watch if you're into this type of show.
The team in "Undercover Underage" does a lot of the same work as Chris Hansen did. Posing as children over messaging apps, setting up meets to catch the scum who do this, and getting law enforcement involved. The difference is Roo Powell, the Chris Hansen of this show. She is the one who poses as a child in many situations, doing facetimes and snapchatting with pedophiles. She has a team that helps by digitally touching up pictures for social media, doing makeup for the conversations, and recording the actual evidence that helps catch criminals. Pretty bog-standard "To Catch a Predator" stuff, except it's more involved. You see the emotional toll this takes on the team, especially Roo.
Give it a watch if you like this kinda stuff. Recognize it's not for everyone.

I just binged season 1 and it is amazing! Love the suow, however the cast is always dramatic with certain things. Its understandable that they don't need the operation(s) to fail, but half the time it's small things not even related. The dramatic music doesn't help either. If anything, I think its just a bit too dramatic. I love the show tho and support the cause! I think it does have its good & bad moments. Overall, the show's really good, for a reality show atleast. Im not interested in reality, but this honestly got me hooked. Its just a bit too dramatic, but thats the point about some reality shows.
